Description

Automatic focusing projection method and system
Technical Field
The embodiment of the invention relates to the technical field of digital projection display, in particular to an automatic focusing projection method and system.
Background
In recent years, with the rapid development of semiconductor display technology, projection technology has rapidly developed, and a large number of projection apparatuses have appeared on the market. At present, various application scenes need to use dynamic projection technology, such as large-scale stages, security alarms, intelligent traffic and the like, and the specific requirements of different scenes are met through the movement of a projection picture in space. In a dynamic projection system, real-time auto-focusing is a very important issue. Since the projection position of the moving projection system will change continuously, the projection distance will also change continuously, and if the fixed focus scheme is adopted, the projection picture will appear blurred inevitably. Therefore, in a dynamic projection system, real-time autofocus technology is required.
Some solutions have been tried and applied in mobile projection systems, for example, by placing a TOF (time Of flight) component beside the projection light engine, which moves together with the TOF component. Since the projection image is always located at the center of the detection area of the TOF assembly, the central detection distance of the TOF assembly is the projection distance of the system. In the actual use process, the position of the focusing lens can be adjusted according to the projection distance, so that automatic focusing is realized.
However, in reflective-type dynamic projection (i.e. controlling the movement of the projection screen by the rotation of the mirror) systems, there is still no effective real-time auto-focusing solution.

The invention also provides an embodiment of the automatic focusing projection method, which is applied to the automatic focusing projection system. Referring to fig. 4, a flow chart of an auto-focus projection method according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, where the method includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:
step S1: acquiring a depth image of the distance measuring unit, and obtaining a vertical projection distance from the distance measuring unit to a projection plane according to the depth image;
specifically, when the reflector rotates, the projection picture moves in space, and the distance measuring unit can measure the distance in each direction in real time and generate a depth image; the acquired depth image information should contain depth information of the projection plane so that a perpendicular projection distance of the ranging unit to the projection plane can be obtained. In some other embodiments, the depth image information further includes depth information of other objects in space.
Specifically, referring to fig. 5, the step S1 is:
step S11: and acquiring a depth image of the distance measuring unit, and determining the depth corresponding to the center position of the depth image as the vertical projection distance.
Since the distance measuring unit and the reflective center point of the reflection unit can be regarded as the same point, the distance corresponding to the center position of the depth image obtained by the distance measuring unit is close to the distance from the reflective center point of the reflection unit to the projection plane, and the vertical projection distance from the distance measuring unit to the projection plane is approximately regarded as the vertical projection distance from the reflective center point of the reflection unit to the projection plane.
Step S2: obtaining the position information of the central point of the projection picture in the depth image according to the elevation angle of the reflection unit and the vertical projection distance;
specifically, referring to fig. 6, the step S2 is:
step S21: and obtaining the position information according to the elevation angle, the vertical projection distance and a first corresponding table, wherein the first corresponding table represents the corresponding relation of the elevation angle, the vertical projection distance and the position information.
Referring to fig. 7, in the auto-focus projection system, since the distance measuring unit and the reflective center of the reflector are on the same horizontal plane, the distance measuring unit and the reflective center coincide at a point a when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the paper plane, and when the reflector has an elevation angle β, the elevation angle of the reflected light e of the projection unit is β
Figure BDA0002878822800000101
If the included angle between the distance measuring unit and the reflector is beta0The normal d elevation angle of the distance measuring unit is
Figure BDA0002878822800000102
It can be seen that, in the vertical direction, the reflected light e of the projection unit is not parallel to the normal d of the ranging unit, so the projection image is not located at the vertical center position of the depth image obtained by the ranging unit, and the position of the center point of the projection image in the depth image is related to the elevation angle of the reflector and the vertical projection distance from the reflective center point to the projection plane. Meanwhile, in the actual process of the auto-focus projection system, please refer to the right diagram of fig. 7, when looking down vertically, the installation position and reflection of the distance measuring unitThe reflecting central points of the units have certain distance in the horizontal direction, so that the projection picture at the projection position is not positioned at the horizontal center of the depth image obtained by the distance measuring unit, but has displacement in the horizontal direction, and the position of the central point of the projection picture in the depth image can be seen to change along with the change of the vertical projection distance from the reflecting central point to the projection plane.
Therefore, the corresponding relation of the elevation angle of the reflector, the vertical projection distance and the position of the central point of the projection picture in the depth image can be constructed firstly. Specifically, in some embodiments, the correspondence relationship between the elevation angle, the vertical projection distance, and the position information is characterized by first obtaining the first correspondence table: then, the first corresponding table is established based on the corresponding relation. For example, firstly, the coordinate (x, y) and the elevation angle β of the reflector of the projection image in the depth image obtained by the distance measuring unit and the vertical projection distance R from the reflection center point of the reflector to the projection plane are establishedpA first correspondence table therebetween, wherein βmin≤β≤βmax,Rpmin≤R≤Rpmax,1≤x≤m,1≤y≤n,βminIs the minimum elevation angle, beta, of the mirrormaxIs the maximum elevation angle, R, of the mirrorpminIs the minimum vertical projection distance, R, from the reflecting center point of the reflector to the projection planepmaxThe maximum vertical projection distance from the reflecting center point of the reflector to the projection plane is defined, and m and n are the width and height of the image obtained by the distance measuring unit respectively. Then, the first mapping table is a set of coordinates of the corresponding projection picture center point in the depth image under different mirror elevation angles and vertical projection distances from different mirror reflection center points to the projection plane. It should be noted that in the process of establishing the first correspondence table, the direction of the light reflected by the mirror should be made perpendicular to the projection plane, and the projection screen should be square. In the actual process of establishment, the operation can be performed by a control variable method, for example, the angle of the reflector can be fixed at a preset angle, then the corresponding relationship between the vertical projection distance and the coordinate is established, and in the actual process, the establishment process can be freely set, and the establishment process does not need to be limited by the embodiment of the inventionThe method of (1).
Since the vertical projection distance from the ranging unit to the projection plane is approximately regarded as the vertical projection distance from the reflective center point of the reflection unit to the projection plane in step S1, the distance corresponding to the center position of the depth image obtained by the ranging unit is regarded as the vertical projection distance from the reflective center point to the projection plane after obtaining the distance; and then, searching according to the elevation angle and the first corresponding table to obtain position information, namely obtaining the coordinates of the depth image of the central point of the projection picture at the distance measuring unit.
Step S3: obtaining the projection distance between the projection unit and the projection picture according to the position information;
specifically, when a position coordinate of the center of the projection picture in the depth image is obtained, depth information corresponding to the position coordinate is determined in the depth image, and then a preset fixed distance from the projection unit to a reflection central point of the reflection unit is added to a distance corresponding to the depth information to obtain a projection distance between the projection unit and the projection picture. In practical application, the preset fixed distance may be set according to actual needs, and is not limited herein.
Step S4: and focusing the projection unit according to the projection distance.
The focal length of a projection lens in the automatic focusing projection system can be adjusted between a minimum focal length and a maximum focal length, and meanwhile, the focal length of the lens and the projection distance have a one-to-one correspondence relationship in the focusing range of the projection lens, wherein the minimum focal length corresponds to the minimum projection distance, the maximum focal length corresponds to the maximum projection distance, and the minimum adjustable projection distance and the maximum adjustable projection distance determine the zooming range [ D ]0,D1]I.e. at the projection distance [ D ]0,D1]Within the range, the focusing device can be used for focusing the projection lens which can move along the optical axis, so that the projection picture is clearer.
Specifically, referring to fig. 8, the step S4 includes:
step S41: obtaining the target position of the projection lens according to the projection distance;
step S42: and controlling the focusing device to move the projection lens to the target position according to the target position.
Specifically, the target position of the projection lens is obtained according to the projection distance and a second correspondence table, wherein the second correspondence table represents the correspondence between the projection distance and the position of the projection lens.
In some embodiments, a second correspondence table of positions of the projection lenses and projection distances within the variable focal range of the projection lenses may be pre-established, where the second correspondence table is a set of corresponding lens positions at different projection distances within the variable focal range of the projection lenses. After the projection distance between the projection unit and the projection position is obtained, the target position of the projection lens corresponding to the projection distance is found through the second corresponding table, and then the projection lens is adjusted to the target position through the focusing device, so that automatic focusing is realized.
The automatic focusing projection method provided by the embodiment of the invention can realize automatic focusing in reflective dynamic projection in real time, and when the elevation angle of the reflection unit or the position of the projection plane changes, the projection picture can be kept clear when moving in space, so that the visual experience of a user is improved.
